Do It Yourself

chorus

Love a lot, trust a few, 
but always paddle your own canoe.
If you want something done, do it yourself.
Take the time to take in the view,
but keep a steady eye on those close to you.
If you want something done, do it yourself.

verse 1

IÕve got something to say, IÕve got something to do.
IÕve got bills to pay, IÕve got to work for food.
ThatÕs not a reason, thatÕs an excuse.

I need to hear my voice, I need to clear my head.
I need to make choice, I need to make my bed.
Make a decision and see it through.

bridge

WhatÕs your measure of success,
a hefty wedge or health and happiness.
What you seek depends on what youÕve seen
Where you go depends on where youÕve been.

chorus
verse 2

LifeÕs too short, thereÕs only so much time.
Judge a book by its cover or read between the lines
Write a new chapter and dedicate it to you.

chorus
mid 8

No one tries as hard, no ones works as fast
always there at the start, when itÕs time to leave your the last.
DelegationÕs so frustrating it only causes complications.
A breakdown in communication a sudden lapse of concentration,
and only when the best will do it comes back to you, 
comes back to you.
